Lil Reese was arrested by police in Houston on Sunday for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend inside a Texas nightclub, earlier this month. Authorities had a warrant out for his arrest over the alleged incident for the last several weeks. He stands accused of punching and strangling the woman at The Pinkhouse nightclub in Houston.

Police claim Reese attempted to kiss her several times, but as she continued to reject his advances, he became violent and attacked her physically. Reese’s attorney, Carl Moore, has already denied the allegations against his client. “Mr. Taylor vehemently denies these false accusations. We look forward to his day in court,” he said in a statement provided to TMZ. The outlet also reports that he’s already been denied bond.

Eric Adams’ Subtle Appearance In The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Juicy” Video Resurfaces Amid Indictment

September 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eric Adams’ minor appearance in the music video for The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Juicy” is resurfacing on social media in the wake of the Mayor of New York’s indictment, last week. As caught by HipHopDX, one user shared a screenshot of his appearance on a flyer featured in the video back in 2021 with the caption: “Has anyone noticed that an Eric Adams poster makes a cameo in the video for Biggie Smalls’ ‘Juicy?’ (h/t: my son.)” In the replies to the post, fans were shocked by the impressive catch. “That is just an incredible pull. Nice work by your son!” one fan wrote in response to the post. Another remarked: “This dude is not one of us-the people. He is a cop.”

Following his indictment, Adams faces bribery, campaign finance, and conspiracy offenses. FBI Assistant Director James E. Dennehy said in a statement: “Today’s indictment serves as a sobering moment but also sends a powerful message to every elected official in this country: public service is a profound responsibility, and it should be a noble calling. When that’s perverted by greed and dishonesty, it robs us of our trust. This is a reminder that no one is above the law or beyond reproach.”

Adams has already denied any wrongdoing, having released a video response, last Wednesday night. He labeled the accusations “entirely false” and “based on lies.” Adams told his supporters: “I will fight these injustices with every ounce of my strength, and my spirit. If I am charged, I know I am innocent. I will request an immediate trial so that New Yorkers can hear the truth. New Yorkers know my story. They know where I come from. I have been fighting injustice my entire life. That fight has continued as your mayor.”

Eric Adams’ Cameo In The “Juicy” Music Video Resurfaces

The drama also comes after his decision to present Diddy with a key to the city of New York has resurfaced online in recent weeks. Diddy is currently residing at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he faces charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. He’s already pleaded not guilty to the crimes. Be on the lookout for further updates on Eric Adams on HotNewHipHop.

Master P Explains How To Avoid Legal Scandals Like The Indictment Against Diddy

September 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Even though Diddy faces the brunt of the accusations against him alone, his federal indictment and slew of lawsuits also provoked a lot of tough conversations about celebrity culture and complicity. Some see this situation as a product of one man’s alleged behavior, others think that more famous people are involved, and a few believe that the nature of industry and power dynamics always keeps the root for this abhorrence alive. But some stars are making it clear that they did not give in, according to them. For example, Master P recently spoke to WGNO-TV / ABC26 / WNOL38 about how he avoided the path that Sean Combs allegedly went down.

“Because I realized I had the same friends I had when I started out,” Master P said of the Diddy scandal, positing that he eschewed clout-chasers during his rapid rise in favor of his circle before the fame. “I think a lot of these people don’t realize that a lot of these people want to be your friend once you make it. My thing is, this about a family. We stronger together. Whatever we have, we gon’ share it with each other.

Master P Speaks On The Diddy Situation

P’s Puffy remarks begin at around the 5-minute mark.

“A lot of people want to meet people and hang out with people,” Master P added while championing his mission to “uplift the people around [him]” through upward mobility and evolution. “But I realized that people really just want to be with you because now you’re successful, so I stick to myself.” Also, he expressed his belief that the Diddy case unfairly overshadows other positive stories within hip-hop. “People show all the negative stuff, but look at all the positive things we’ve been doing all these years that don’t go viral.”

As far as other pop culture headlines this year, Master P also chimed into the discussion around his home city of New Orleans’ Super Bowl next year. “Salute to Kendrick Lamar for performing at the halftime show at Super Bowl LIX.. well deserved,” he shared on IG. “He’s one of the hottest music artists in the world and has one of the biggest songs right now. As Ambassador of Entertainment in the City of New Orleans I have to agree with the fans that Lil Wayne should be a part of this celebration as well. He’s one of the greatest hip-hop artists alive, still relevant and he’s a New Orleans native. Let’s not miss this cultural moment in the South. Life is too short! We have to give our legends their flowers while they are here. #Godisgood Change starts with us.”

Myaap & 414Jungle Baby Are “Dripping” On Their New Collaboration

September 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Milwaukee low-end scene has been really coming on strong over the last several months. Assuredly, natives from the Midwestern city will tell you it’s been buzzing for years. But for some reason, it seems that more and more artists are starting to pop off at a higher rate in this recent stretch. AyooLi and J.P are arguably the biggest faces from the subgenre at the moment, but Myaap (Myaa P) is coming. At just 18 years of age, she still has a lot to learn and improve upon. At times, we have cited that she sounds like a Sexyy Red, for example, sometimes. But there is no doubt that she’s hot on their trails. Since getting her professional start two years ago, 2024 has easily been her most productive and successful run yet. She’s put out eight singles and two projects. Making up the latter is a collaborative EP with producer Nedarb and her second LP, BIG MYAAP, NOT THE LIL ONE.

However, based on Myaap’s activity over the last three months, she could be gearing up for one more before year’s end. Part of this hot streak includes “Dripping”, Myaap’s collaboration with fellow Milwaukee native 414Jungle Baby. On this track, you are getting some youthful energy and flexes from both talents. “I’m winning / Big Benz, I’m whipping / I’m winning / Louis V, I’m dripping”, she raps on the chorus. It’s pretty standard fare for her but it does bring some fun vibes. In terms of issues with “Dripping”, the mixing could be slightly improved as the instrumental sounds a little muddy. Additionally, the 414Jungle Baby feature could have been removed. You can’t even tell who is rapping because they sound almost the same. But as we said, Myaap has a lot of room to grow, and we are excited to see where she can go.

Drake Clinches Massive “Views” Milestone And Creates A New Spotify Record

September 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Even as fans and media figures continue to debate around this year’s battle and other narratives, Drake keeps finding success from his past work. Moreover, Views recently reached a massive Spotify milestone, becoming only the third rap album ever on the platform to surpass 10 billion total streams. Not only that, but the Toronto superstar became the only MC at press time to have two albums cross the 10 billion streams mark, the first of which was Scorpion. To no one’s surprise, all of his projects on the streaming service have over a billion total streams each, an accolade few artists have been able to even approach.

Elsewhere, Drake actually recently focused on congratulating another artist for their success as he hit the studio to presumably record new material. He shared a clip on Instagram of Chilly “Gonz” Gonzales praising their collaborations in the past during a recent interview. “Thank you Gonz,” the 6ix God shared online. “This guy was my neighbor, and we ended up making incredible pieces together, one of the greatest musicians of all time to me.”

Drake’s Views Numbers Continue To Impress

A post shared by Akademiks TV (@djakademikstv)

Meanwhile, others like A$AP Bari wonder whether or not Drake will be able to come back from his loss to Kendrick Lamar. “Nah, it can never be over for Drake. Drake is Drake,” he expressed on a podcast. “Hell no, hell no. It can never be over for Drake, honestly. I just feel like – Well, I was mad at the point of, like… I feel like, you know, if you gon’ start some s**t, finish it, you feel me? But that’s what we from. We from Harlem, we from New York, just period. You know, I’ma start a fight, I’ma finish it, you feel me? Nah, I feel like it was something that ticked him off and he wasn’t trying to take it that far. You understand?”

However, some of Drake’s most recent releases didn’t get the same fanfare that even the most meager Views cuts got on impact. He and Snowd4y recently released an animated music video for “Wah Gwan Delilah,” reigniting some memes about the parody cover. But we’ll see what the future holds…
